Product details
Overview
IRFS7440PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 40V, 208A N-channel D2PAK-7L HEXFET Power MOSFET with 2.0mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 175°C max junction temperature, and enhanced body diode dV/dt/dI/dt capability-designed for high-current synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters and half-bridge motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS7440PBF datasheet, IRFS7440PBF pinout, IRFS7440PBF application, or IRFS7440PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5mΩ max RDS(on), 772A pulsed source current rating, 6.8V/ns diode dv/dt ruggedness, and 120A package-limited continuous current under thermal constraints.
Technical Context
This device employs a trench-gated, silicon-based N-channel MOSFET structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in hard-switched and resonant topologies. Its 4730pF Ciss, 90nC total gate charge, and 32nC Miller charge support efficient gate drive design at high-frequency operation up to 500kHz.
The integrated body diode features 24ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25°C), 17nC Qrr, and 1.3V forward voltage at 100A-enabling robust performance in bidirectional power flow applications such as OR-ing and active clamp circuits without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines safe operating range in 12–36V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 2.0mΩ @ VGS = 10V, TJ = 25°C - Enables <1.0W conduction loss at 100A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID cont. | 208A @ TC = 25°C - Rated for high-current single-pulse or short-duration duty cycles with heatsink mounting. |
| ID (pkg lim.) | 120A - Practical continuous current limit imposed by leadframe thermal resistance and bond wire capacity. |
| Qg | 90nC max - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching transition time in 100–200kHz SMPS designs. |
| EAS | 772mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating supports unclamped inductive switching in motor control fault conditions. |
| VSD | 0.9V typ. @ IS = 100A - Low body diode forward drop reduces conduction loss during freewheeling in synchronous rectifiers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFS7440PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 147A at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced RDS(on) stability and junction-to-case thermal resistance limitations at elevated temperatures.
Does IRFS7440PBF support Kelvin source sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes-IRFS7440PBF features three dedicated source terminals: Pin 2 (main source), and Pins 3 & 4 (Kelvin source). These isolated low-current paths enable accurate gate-to-source voltage control and eliminate voltage drop errors from high-di/dt source traces in precision current regulation circuits.
Can IRFS7440PBF be used in avalanche mode, and what is its rated single-pulse energy?
Yes-IRFS7440PBF is fully characterized for repetitive and single-pulse avalanche operation. Its rated single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) is 772mJ at TJ = 25°C, validated per JEDEC JESD24-11 test conditions using 100A IAS, 50Ω gate resistance, and 0.048mH inductance.
What is the significance of Coss eff. (ER) = 845pF in power converter design?
Coss eff. (ER) represents the fixed capacitance that stores the same energy as the nonlinear Coss during VDS rise from 0 to 80% VDSS. It is used to calculate zero-voltage switching (ZVS) timing and resonant tank losses in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters where soft-switching margin is critical.
